In the following days, no matter how low I dropped my prices, he would always undercut me by a dollar.
Although his prices were lower, his business was new and far from mature. His skills were lacking, leading to frequent customer complaints.
In the month since opening, not only had he failed to make any money, but he had also accumulated dozens of negative reviews.
I heard that last night, due to one bad review, the police were called, and today he was forced to close his doors.
I thought that with him shut down, I could finally do some business. But unexpectedly, Li Xiaomei started causing trouble again.
She somehow gathered a group of women who came to my shop every day for free manicures and eyelash extensions.
At first, she brought along some relatives I recognized, but soon it turned into a group of unrelated women. Not only did they fail to show any gratitude, but they also expected me to serve them with the best tea and water.
If I neglected them even slightly, they would whip out their phones to livestream, accusing me of being an ungrateful wolf who didn’t respect the elderly.
With Li Xiaomei stirring things up, I found myself unable to do business for several more days. Meanwhile, the bank suddenly notified me that my mortgage payment was overdue this month.
The mortgage was set for automatic withdrawal, and a failed transaction could only mean one thing: there was no money in my account.
I quickly checked my bank balance and, sure enough, it was insufficient!
To my shock, the recent large transfer record showed that Shen Dagen had taken the money. No wonder he suddenly wanted to borrow my phone a few days ago.
I was so furious that I almost couldn't catch my breath, but at that moment, he simply vanished. Calls went unanswered, messages were ignored, and no one could find him at home or work; it was as if he had evaporated from the world.
In my anger, I kicked his mother and all those aunts out.
It seemed they had anticipated my outburst. With just a glance from Li Xiaomei, over a dozen phones were suddenly aimed at me.
They recorded while hurling insults, claiming I was disrespectful to the elderly, accusing me of running my business improperly, and even saying I was jealous of their beauty.
I pressed my face against the camera and clearly explained how her son had transferred the mortgage.
But in the next moment, my bank card suddenly displayed a successful mortgage deduction.
When I looked up again, I found Shen Chengzhou standing in the crowd holding a large stack of takeout bags, dressed in delivery attire.
Before I could process what was happening, Li Xiaomei let out a dramatic scream and collapsed to the ground, lamenting: "My poor son! He’s been working day and night delivering food to gather medical expenses for her, yet this ingrate claims my son is trying to harm her!"
Then Shen Chengzhou joined in with tears streaming down his face: " Xia Anan, I admit it was wrong for me to use the money without asking you first, but you shouldn't treat us this way! How could you hurt the person who loves you most?"
The group of women quickly followed suit, berating me for being heartless. A few of them were so worked up that they even tried to come at me.
I had anticipated Shen Chengzhou might pull some tricks, but I never expected him to stoop this low.
I was surrounded by this group of people, their spittle flying all over my face. Seeing that no explanation would suffice, I simply closed my eyes, let my legs go weak, and collapsed straight to the ground.
As I fell, the world instantly fell silent.
Shen Chengzhou, suspecting I was faking it, stepped forward and shook me.
When they realized I wouldn’t wake up no matter how much they called me, panic began to set in among them.
The one who had been the loudest, Auntie, immediately turned hostile and said, "This has nothing to do with me! You’re the one who got us into this mess. Hurry up and settle this so I can leave!"
Li Xiaomei shot back at her without hesitation: "What do you mean by that? I never asked you to knock her out! Besides, if the job didn’t get done, how could we settle anything?"
Her words instantly ignited a firestorm among the Aunties. A few of them, visibly agitated, grabbed her collar and yelled: "We agreed on fifty each! We helped you stir up trouble and film it. Now that things have gone wrong, you want to back out? You better check who you're dealing with; we’re not easy targets! Hand over the money!"
"Dream on if you think you can get my money! I have no cash to spare and if it comes down to a fight, I’m not afraid of you!"
